World Cup 2022, Brazil – Switzerland 1-0: Casemiro’s goal and two out of two in the round of 16, the Seleção.

Brazil, with a great goal from Casemiro, beat Switzerland 1-0, made it two out of two in the group, went to ’16’ World Cups and also achieved a record 17 consecutive group stage victories.

Brazil beat Switzerland 1-0 on Monday evening, winning it for the first time in the World Cup in the third meeting between the two teams, and it is already in the “16” of the World Cup, while Tete’s team also set a record. Reaching a 17-match unbeaten run in group matches, something no other team has yet achieved at the World Cup.

The goal that decided the match was scored by Casemiro in the 83rd minute, with a wonderful shot from inside the area, which ended a wonderful attack from the Seleção, with three assists in one.

Brazil were better overall, they had more chances, they scored a goal they didn’t count, after 1-0 they had other chances to increase the score even more but they didn’t succeed. Having already qualified, Brazil will face Cameroon in the final group match.

the match

In the first half, Brazil had the upper hand in the game, but did not become particularly threatening towards the Zomer goal. For their part, Switzerland tried when they stole the ball to run quickly to score but without their players threatening Alisson.

Typically, the first 45 minutes ended with six finals, two at home to Brazil, while Switzerland threatened only once with a ball that did not go home to Alisson.

Brazil’s best moment came from Rafinha’s deft left-footed cross to Vinicius in the 27th minute as the Real Madrid striker tried to get one foot in but found the ball with his leg and Sommer slotted in a corner kick. This was also the last good moment in the first 45 minutes.

The second half started with a change for Brazil as Paquetas was replaced by Rodrygo as Tite tried to improve his team. “Seleção” raised their lines and tried to take the lead in the 56th minute, but Resarlison was unable to send the ball into the net after a Vinicius cross.

Brazil scored a goal in the 65th minute through Vinicius, but this did not allow the use of the video assistant referee technique due to Richardson’s offside at the beginning of the period.

In the 78th minute, Tite strengthened his team’s attack even more by introducing Jesus and Anthony into the match instead of Rafinha and Rezarlison.

Five minutes later, Brazil’s “salvation” came with Casemiro. Vinicius passed to Alex Sandro, who once made his way to the United midfielder who fired once and headed the ball in as Sommer could do nothing to respond.

After 1-0, Switzerland left more space and Brazil could reach the second goal. At 87′, Rodrygo found himself in position to shoot down the left, catching the ball with Sommer chasing a corner kick. Also during injury time, Vinicius set up Rodrygo beautifully who headed the ball in with Akanji chipping away.
